Thursday 13

The Pink Heart Society is missing a post today...so instead we're shining a light on 13 fun things for category romance lovers to do online!

eHarlequin Online Reads - FREE short stories written by your favorite authors. Sometimes they're bonus reading material for your favorite stories, like this month's selection Lightning Strikes by Tracy Wolff. It's a preamble of sorts for her November release, A Christmas Wedding .

The 100,000 Book Challenge at eHarlequin. It was a HUGE goal, and 24,761 have been added so far. If you haven't joined, you should consider it even if you'll only add a book or two. For every book read, Harlequin will donate a book to the National Center for Family Literacy to benefit their literacy programs. It's also a great place to find what people are saying about books you're reading.

Check out NaNoWriMo is you've ever thought about writing a book...yes, I am riding that horse two days in a row.

Well, I have to admit I usually pop over to I Heart Presents and The Pink Heart Society most days after checking my emails, especially if I'm in prevarication mode, which, let's face it, is just about every day but other favoured haunts are The Writing Playground Blog co-run by new Modern Heat author Kim Lang or Trish Wylie's blog or Natalie Anderson's. And then I get lost in whatever they are all nattering about and I can usually stave off having to do any work for a good half an hour.

Unfortunately today i'm working in an office doing film reviewing, so I can't stick around long. Bummer.

I did NaNo two years ago (and won), but it messed me up good. I'm still trying to fix that book, which was a sequel and therefore shouldn't be taking so long. It did teach me a valuable lesson, though -- if it ain't broke, don't fix it! I was born to write by the seat of my pants and edit as I go. Period
